Visitation in Adams County, Pa., in 2015 surpassed that of the community's monumental 150th Anniversary year in 2013, according to recent analysis by the California University of Pennsylvania's Tourism Research Center.
The report concluded that 3,789,380 visitors traveled to Adams County in 2015 - just more than 1,500 visitors above 2013, when the Gettysburg region commemorated the sesquicentennial anniversary of both the Battle of Gettysburg and the Gettysburg Address.
Last year's visitation marks an all-time high since CalU began tracking countywide visitation for Destination Gettysburg in 2007.
"The tourism community of Adams County should be very proud of this accomplishment," said Norris Flowers, President of Destination Gettysburg. "This number is proof that we are building a strong future for tourism in this community."
